Russia has started to evacuate employees working at the country’s diplomatic missions in Ukraine, just one day after the Foreign Ministry in Moscow announced it was concerned for the safety of personnel, it has been reported.
Citing a source at the embassy in Kiev, Russian news agency TASS revealed that the evacuation has “already begun.”
Moscow currently has four diplomatic missions in Ukraine, located in the cities of Kiev, Kharkov, Odessa, and Lviv. According to the Ministry, the buildings have been the targets of aggression since 2014.
“In the current circumstances, our primary task is to take care of the Russian diplomats and employees of the embassy and general consulates,” Tuesday’s statement said. “To protect their lives and security, the Russian leadership decided to evacuate personnel of the Russian foreign offices in Ukraine.”
